Start by creasing the paperalong the fold line. Most of the planes need a final tweakto really fly well. Most of the planes need a final tweakto really fly well.

They will dive untilyou bend up the back edge of the wingslightly. Bending the wing keeps the noseup and lets the plane float on the air. Buttoo much, and it will stall and crash. Addand subtract until the plane flies just right.

Introduction
Isnt it amazing that an ordinary piece of paper can turn into an airplanea real airplanejust like the ones we fly on every day? Those airplanes overhead, full of people flying here and there, haveengines to help them take off and fly long distances. Paper airplanesmay not have the engines, but if you fold them right and throw themcarefully, they will fly just as well.

All airplanes need wings and good balance. With origami airplanes,you get that balance by folding your paper so that there arewings at the back, and lots of weight at the front. Get the wings andbalance right, and all kinds of strange shapes will fly. This kit is filled with directions for folding planes that will really fly,and paper you can use to make them. But even aft er the paper is gone, andthe airplanes all flown or given away, you can use these directions withyour own paper to make a whole new fleet of amazing origami airplanes. Happy flying!
